Inside Northern's train driving school

Northern has set its sights on recruiting 280 drivers and conductors in 2023.

A train operator has announced plans to recruit up to 280 drivers and conductors this year.

The latest driver roles are based in Carlisle, Darlington, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield, Skipton and York and come with a starting salary of £23,000 per year, rising to £54,500 once fully qualified. "It will be another four or five weeks before I even get into a train and even then it will be in a depot at 5mph," she said.

Mr Davison said recruits will then learn "all about the trains and how to fix them", before the "practical handling" phase of the course, when they will be taught how to drive trains while learning Northern's routes.
